Suspension helps create safe, orderly, schools — and tells parents they share responsibility for their child’s behavior, writes Eva Moskowitz, founder of Success Academies in the New York Post...An imbedded link likens a suspension to a "time out" at home, and states explicitly that "order and civility" are crucial elements of effective schools. I assert they are, in terms we math people love, "necessary but not sufficient" elements.
Sending a child home for a day or two puts the burden of children’s misbehavior on the parents, Moskowitz writes. “Many politicians give lip service to supporting teachers — yet would undermine them by depriving them of the tools they need to create a safe learning environment.”
